Knitting & Stitching Show

Hi everyone, hope you've all had a lovely weekend! My family and I went to the knitting and stitching show in Harrogate today. There was so much to look at...it was positively a feast for the eyes! I could have spent a lot longer than the 3 hours we had there, however, my 3 and 5 year old have other ideas! At least they got the opportunity to make some decoupage Christmas tree decorations, they're looking to decorating the tree even more than usual now! They also had a lovely play (under the watchful eye of security!) with the beautifully made woollen village. My favourite part of the village was the knitted ice cream van, there was even a little knitted child buying ice cream! Genius!

About Me

I have had a passion for arts and crafts since early childhood. After studying graphic design at Derby University I was employed as a designer for a screen printing company. Two years later I started working as a needlework designer for DMC. I had found something I really enjoyed and wanted to develop further.
In 2003 I became a freelance needlework designer. Apart from my 2 children, nothing gives me a greater sense of pride than seeing someone stitching one of my designs. I feel truely priviliged to be working doing something I thoroughly love.
I currently contribute to the following magazines: cross stitch crazy, cross stitch gold, the world of cross stitching, cross stitch card shop, cross stitcher and cross stitch collection.
